Making the switch

Just back from a photo safahi to Arizona with the new D70. I was reluctant to take it on such trips because of the size, investment and unfamiliarity compared to my old Finepix 3800. After this I'll use it all the time. What a pleasure. And it holds all the pictures from four days on the flash card...no need to take the laptop. While it is bigger it is still very light. I hiked up hills with it hanging on my neck no problem. At one point there was another fella with a film SLR shooting pictures, too. Apparently he'd been watching me because after sixty exposures he came over and said, "Aren't you out of film yet?" Another advantage that hadn't really occurred to me. The menus are a little confusing because you must learn which button to push to navigate through them. Might consider DSLR Nikon D70 ebook by Peter iNova.
